MAZ Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) GorillaZilla and the word "overkill" go hand in hand once more... Is that switch from an electric chair? Edited June 30, 2012 by MAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhum51 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) you should find room for this switch i spotted that 1 earlier and i like it a lot too.... just not sure there is room. worth looking into it though! but i'll try this 1 first! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ON-OFF-TOGGLE-SWITCH-AIRCRAFT-FLIP-COVER-CARBON-CAR-/270751239881?_trksid=p3984.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DRIC.CFNPRP%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270751239881%26ps%3D63#ht_2862wt_1270 Edited June 30, 2012 by Rhum51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Can't put it constantly on as charging becomes a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Was looking at micro togle switch but would only take a slight nock to switch it off so ditched that one any actual switch we could use would be good guys if I wanted silly ideas I'd ask the mrs Edited June 30, 2012 by fatboyneil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAZ Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Where are you going to fit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 If you look at the pictures of the wheel assembly it will hopefully be between the wheel and the little area that has a flysky sticker on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhum51 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 tonight, i'll look at fitting the small 1 of the 2 switches in the picture. as you can see the missile launch type is just huge!!!!! though it looks awesome and the locking/switching action feels class, it just is too big and too stiff for the plastic housing even if we have space for it. so.... small 1 it is for me!

MAZ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 quite a difference in size between those 2 switches lol Definitely post lots of pics - I'm set on getting one of these and sorting out the on/off switch straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhum51 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 1st.... wheel casing apart you can see a block of white tack, i used it to make sure there was enough space once in position. i had marked up an area roughly then drilled 3 holes (2mm dia) only to locate the switch to allow a more accurate marking on the plastic component. then, with the dremel, i roughly removed the inside of the marked area. then with a craft knife, i enlarged the opening and started giving it corners! i carried on cutting until the switch fit in the opening. inside view then..... crucial time for me to commit and cut the wires!!!! time to solder.... at least solder 1 wire in the middle prong. ET VOILA!!!!!! next, i will need to find a couple of miniature screws to secure the switch. for now, it is a tight fit and it is working fine!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thats brilliant! i'm sure when I eventually get a gt3c and try to replace the switch, it'll go horribly wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks I haven't had much time tonight to sort this out but here's where I put mine just need some countersunk screws and it's sorted Edited July 3, 2012 by fatboyneil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhum51 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 lol... i dont even know why i didnt think of having the switch within the enclosure! your way is a bit easier to fit... less fiddly! The main thing i was bothered about was that the switch did not interfere with anything inside. if i was to do it again, i would probably fit it your way but at the location where i put mine. did u use M2 or M1.5 screws and nuts?

fatboyneil Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 my switch has thread for 2mm screws so when i get some countersunk ones it should look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorlander Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Right straight to the point yes they have fixed the expo on the new handsets I couldn't tell on analogue servos but on the digital I could feel it never mind see it so with all the other fixes and the included lipo and the size and weight difference it's going to give some of the big boys something to worry about if you have a gt3b sell it now and get this you won't regret it Fatboy errmmm...not had any re-wring / change of power switches on my GT3B...... :whistling: Edited July 11, 2012 by moorlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Put a lipo in your gt3b and wait for it to melt apart from the power switch problem the gt3c is a definate improvement over the 3b and with overkills firmware hack it could be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorlander Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) why would it melt apart? you could install a 3 cell lipo ( 9v ) and it would be ok .. Edited July 11, 2012 by moorlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
